Best wishes for the festive season from Ramp Up

As Ramp Up's third year comes to an end, we'd like to say a warm thank you for your continued support. Through 2013's ups and downs, it's been our privilege as usual to bring you news, features and opinions from all corners of the disability community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the site, and to those who joined the conversation on Twitter or Facebook. We're proud to say Ramp Up's reach has grown again this year and that we've been able to canvass many new voices from the disability community to share a wide range of topics, insights and views. We hope to continue building our community, engaging more people with disability and creating meaningful discussion next year and beyond.

We'll be taking a short break over the Christmas period but we'll be back with fresh stories from early January. In the meantime, please complete our survey to let us know what you think about Ramp Up and for your chance to win 1 of 3 Galaxy tablet devices. And don't forget, our archives are always available for you to browse our extensive catalogue of stories.

We've got lots of exciting plans for Ramp Up next year and look forward to sharing them with you. Until then, we wish you all the best for a happy and safe festive season. Bring on 2014!

Have just stumbled across Ramp Up, very interesting site. Have 3 sons, 1 with Aspergers and 1 with Down Syndrome and the other just has to put up with being neuro typical and excitable. Very impressed with what I see Stella, will be checking back Ina's part of my daily surf.

Merry Christmas Ramp Up, and keep up the absolutely fantastic work in 2014. I am a daily reader of this site, and absolutely must have my Ramp Up fix each day. This site has really ignited the fire of disability rights passion within me.

just one little tip: the prizes in the survey were for Galaxy tablets. Although accessibility in tablets has improved recently, the Apple products are still the leaders in accessibility for PWD. Would it not be better to have as a prize, a product that is the leader in accessibility? Or, perhaps not a tablet, but something else?Note: I have no affiliations with any companies, just the opinion of a mere mortal.
